Galaxy S27 Ultra chip choice remains uncertain
Samsung has not confirmed which chip will power the Galaxy S27 Ultra.
The latest tip from Ice Universe says there is still no sign of the Exynos 2700 being used in the phone in Europe.
That points to European models using Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, if the tip proves correct.
The choice for South Korea remains uncertain, and the phone could use either chip there.
Earlier claims have differed, with some pointing to Exynos models and others saying the Ultra would use Qualcomm chips only.
The conflicting claims mean the final regional lineup is still unclear.
Samsung has not made an official announcement, so the picture could change before the phone is confirmed.
The Galaxy S27 Ultra’s chipset choice remains unsettled, according to a report citing tipster Ice Universe.

The chipset for South Korean models remains uncertain.
If the report is correct, European models will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6.
